Topic: Online spell book builder? (Read 339048 times)

This will be a good move for AW. I have no doubt that a large number of people that, up to this point, don't know much about Mage Wars will see the logo for the game on the cardgamedb site and want to learn more about it. This will be a great way to get players who are into all of those FFG card games to check this out. I'm sure this move will result in not just a happier community, but a larger community in general.

I actually just got an update from CardgameDB - they are working on it over there and making good progress. Yesterday I heard that they have all the card data inputted, which is awesome news. I got a nice little preview of the card search function last night too.

Also, they are adding in an extra "errata" portion for us so that we can give you notes, etc. on all the cards, etc. So, I'm pretty happy with that.

I'll see if I can find out when certain parts of the feature will be live and get that information over to you.

Hi folks...new to the site here. Had a chance to play this game at PAX, and had a blast and finally had a chance to pick up the game. I noticed you are in collabloration on an online deck builder! Thats awesome!

I was wondering if there is an iphone app in the works for a spell book calculator, where you can select your wizard and just tick off the spells selected, and it will correctly calculate the totals, and possibly have a shot of each card with it as well.

Web based or make it an app... Either way it needs to happen... My calculator ain't cutting it.

If your only concern is the calculation, I have created and posted an application that handles this on board game geek. It does not have the full spell text though, only enough information to calculate the cost.

This is a java desktop application, packaged as an executable jarFor most operating systems, you should be able to simply double click on the fileTo meet the system requirements, you must have the Java7 runtime environment installedYou can download the java runtime environment at http://www.java.com

Looks like there was finally some real progess on the deck builder over on Card Game DB. I found this in their forums. Drew's still tweaking, and you won't find this link at the top of the page under the MW drop down.
